Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Finnegan O’Dorable whose name is Irish and loosely translates to “adorable fair one” is a 7 pound, male maltipoo with a truly delightful personality. Approximately a year old, he is playful but also loves to cuddle. He is friendly to all people. He’s only been with 4LD foster family for a few days so we are still learning if he likes other dogs and cats. We are optimistic because Finn is such a friendly, happy little dog. He sleeps in his crate through the night and is working on house training, earning a solid grade of B in a short time. He is interested in toys but has not mastered fetch yet. He gives high fives though! He is a bit thin, but will gain weight quickly because he thoroughly enjoys eating. Finnegan O’Dorable is not yet neutered but procedure is included in 4LD adoption fee. If adopted before neuter, adopter must be willing to complete the neuter at 4LD veterinarian located in Brandon, FL. Finnegan O’Dorable is being fostered in the New Tampa/Wesley Chapel area. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 16, 2025, 11:17 am

PLEASE READ THE ANIMALS PROFILE AND ALL NOTES BELOW BEFORE APPLYING! Meet Myrtle, a sweet 10 year old white maltese. She came in with severe dental disease, since then MFP has covered her dental surgery where 15 teeth were removed. She is healing in a foster home and with some love and care she will be feeling better in no time! From Myrtle: Hi there, Im Myrtle! I may be 10 years old, but Ive got plenty of love left to give! Im a sweet senior Maltese who is both blind and deaf, but dont let that fool youIm still full of heart and snuggles! Im looking for a cozy, quiet home where I can spend my golden years being pampered and loved. Im a little shy and startle easily, so Id do best in a home with no small children (they move too fast for me!). Older kids are okay, as long as they know how to be gentle with me. Id be the perfect companion for a retired person or someone who is home most of the time. My favorite thing is to cuddle up in my little bed and just relax while youre nearby. I do enjoy going out into the yard for little strollsI like feeling the grass under my paws! I also have a bit of a quirky nighttime routine, where I need to potty once or twice between 12am and 4am. So, my ideal family will be patient and understanding of my needs. I promise, Ill make up for it with lots of love and snuggles during the day! If youre looking for a gentle soul who just wants to snuggle and enjoy life by your side, Im your girl! Lets make these golden years extra special together. Could you be my forever family?

Story
Hi, I’m Sonia . . . I’m a 6-year-old Maltese girl weighing 8 lbs. of pure love.  I’m adventurous, athletic, affectionate, and confident.  I would describe myself as a social butterfly. General Behavior:   Sonia is somewhat active and a curious girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings. She is a simple girl who takes time to smell the flowers.  She can also be quiet, gentle and protective.  Likes & Dislikes:  Sonia has many “favorites”, including romping in the yard, chasing chameleons and finding the perfect sunny spot to catch some rays. While some dogs love toys, Sonia could take them or leave them, as she would rather spend her time sitting with her human.  Training: Sonia does well with house training when let out on a frequent and consistent schedule.  She walks well on a leash and does great (and loves) riding in the car.  Sonia is a very smart girl who learns quickly. That trait, in addition to her food motivation (she loves to eat), should lend itself nicely to additional training.  Medical: Sonia will just require her monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, just like any other dog.  Other Animals: Sonia has experience with small dogs only, so a home with a small furry friend would be appropriate for her. She has not been tested with cats, so a home with cats would probably not be a good fit.  Children: Sonia would likely enjoy having a kid or two to play with in her forever home.  Due to her small size, children over the age of 8 would be a better fit.      Home: Snuggly Sonia isn’t picky about her future type of home and would do well in a home, apartment/townhouse.  She can be left alone for several hours without issues and has free rein in her foster home.  She enjoys sleeping in the human bed at night but will also sleep in her dog bed in her own special space.  Many times, throughout her day and evening, she enjoys her quiet time in her own space. She also greatly enjoys exploring her surroundings.  Grooming: With her breed, Sonia will need periodic grooming.  The cost of grooming should be something a potential adopter takes into consideration.  Overall: Are you looking for a great companion who is a sweet, energetic “wiggle-butt” who is sure to melt your heart?  If so, Sonia could be the one for you.   Could you be the one for Sonia?  Then visit our website www.PoodleandPoochRescue.org where you will find the application to adopt. You’ll be put in contact with the foster family for more information if it’s a potential match. Sonia is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and spayed. Her adoption donation is $350. ##2279427##
